Greetings everyone, I've written in about this a few times, but it seems to be a problem that absolutely refuses to go away. I co-admin 2 FreeBSD servers, one of which hosts some pretty high-volume web sites. Every 5-10 days, the machine has to be rebooted, because messages like this start appearing in the logs: Oct 21 07:07:32 manx proftpd[15912]: socket() failed in inet_create_connection(): No buffer space available Oct 21 07:12:55 manx proftpd[16704]: socket() failed in inet_create_connection(): No buffer space available Oct 21 07:12:56 manx proftpd[16703]: socket() failed in inet_create_connection(): No buffer space available Oct 21 07:13:23 manx proftpd[16739]: socket() failed in inet_create_connection(): No buffer space available Oct 21 07:13:30 manx proftpd[16750]: socket() failed in inet_create_connection(): No buffer space available We're running 3.3-STABLE. We used to use a 3Com 3C905 (Fast EtherLink XL) ethernet card, but were told by some that these cards don't work particularly well under FreeBSD. So, we tried switching to an Intel Pro/100+ ethernet card, but just ran into the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything else to try, possibly a different ethernet card, tweaks to the OS, patches...? We're stumped. Thanks in advance! ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://www.dreamhaven.net/~data * ICQ: 461599 * * "Insanity takes its toll.
